In a statement issued yesterday, Shhtayyeh also called for stopping settler attacks on olive pickers in the various villages and towns where the olive harvest season has begun. Settlers have repeatedly attacked Palestinian farmers under the protection of occupation forces who confiscate the harvested crops and prevent farmers from accessing their fields.
Shtayyeh also called for the formation of popular committees in the targeted villages and towns, to protect farmers and confront settlers' attacks.
The Shuafat refugee camp has been under siege since Saturday evening as Israeli occupation forces search for the alleged attacker who killed an Israeli soldier at an illegal West Bank checkpoint and injured others. The assailant is said to have fled to the camp.
